It would be way cool, if you would publish these dates (and others) as a public GoogleCalendar, or add the responding buttons to these dates to add them to my calendar
You definitely should go to Amsterdam Mike, lots of interesting stuff happening here!
Portugal ? Why not? Lisbon is one of the most beautifull cities in the world !
cu in berlin
techvirus.com - Email me about doing something in Lisbon.
Finland and Estonia?
You’re all invited to Bosphorus ; ) All bloggers, startup owners at Europe. Like Belgium, Holland, Israel and Romania. Also Russia! ; )
Why?
Wikipedia is saying: “Istanbul is Europe’s most populous city (the world’s 4th largest city proper and 20th largest urban area) and Turkey’s cultural and financial center. It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents.”
And contact me for hotel suggestions ; ) I’m owner of a travel agency : ) Heheh!
Looking forward to Hamburg!!
Yeah Mike, like Wouter said, we would be happy to host you in NL/Amsterdam.
